商品描述
This book delves into a multitude of practices that, although deemed "lawful" by courts, are undeniably "awful" and unethical. From police officers employing deceit to extract confessions or consent to search, to prosecutors manipulating innocent individuals to relinquish their rights and plead guilty, to excessive force by law enforcement, these practices erode public trust in the criminal legal system and deny justice to those affected.
With a critical examination of these deeply flawed tactics, this volume goes beneath the surface to explore their profound impact on the ethical standards and emotional health of justice system practitioners. It forcefully argues for a reclaiming of The Social Contract and for peace officers and prosecutors to unequivocally reject these unethical methods and recognize the urgent need for a criminal justice system that truly embodies ethics and fairness.
This work equips police officers, prosecutors, judges, and legislators with invaluable research, enabling them to actively advocate for a transformed system that ethically serves justice for all in the post-George Floyd era.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書深入探討了許多雖然被法院視為「合法」的做法，但無可否認地是「可怕」且不道德的。從警察使用欺騙手段來提取供詞或獲得搜索同意，到檢察官操控無辜者放棄權利並認罪，再到執法機關的過度使用武力，這些做法侵蝕了公眾對刑事法律系統的信任，並剝奪了受影響者的正義。
本書對這些深具缺陷的戰術進行了批判性的檢視，深入探討了它們對司法系統從業者的倫理標準和情感健康的深遠影響。書中強烈主張應重新確立社會契約，並要求和平官員和檢察官毫不含糊地拒絕這些不道德的方法，認識到迫切需要一個真正體現倫理和公平的刑事司法系統。
本書為警察、檢察官、法官和立法者提供了寶貴的研究資料，使他們能夠積極倡導一個在喬治·弗洛伊德事件後時代中，能夠倫理地為所有人服務的轉型系統。
